PUMP.

To all wltomtt may concern:

Be it known that 1, Gus'ravn L. HERZ, a citizen of the Empire of Austi'ia-l-lungary, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is a specification. l

My invention has to do with pumps; and it seeks the provision of a practical and efficient pump constructed with a view of being applied and held under pressure against a fly wheel or other rotating part of a gasolene engine or other motor and of being actuated by the friction due to the said pressure between it and the said fly wheel or other rotating part.

To the attainment of the foregoing object, my invention consists in the peculiar and advantageous pump hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims appended.

1n the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification: lligure 1 is a longitudinal section of a portion of a pump of the chracter mentioned constituting the most approved, practical embodiment of my invention of which l am cognizant: llig. 2, a modication of the same, and Fig. 3, a view illustrative of the manner in which the pump is arranged relative to the ily wheel or other rotating part of a gasolene engine or other motor when it is desired to operate the pump by the fly wheel or other rotating part.

Referring by numeral to the said drawings and more particularly to Figs. 1 and 3, thereof: 1 represents a portion of a ily wheel of an engine or motor, and 2 is my novel pump as a whole; the latter being, by preference, of the hand lever type, and being designed to be fulcrumed on an engine frame portion or other support suitable to the purpose, after the manner shown in Eig. 3.

l prefer in ractice for reasons which will be understoo to have my novel pump comrise a handle bar 4 which for the sake of lightness is made of wood, a cylinder 5, of suitable metal, rigidly connected to the handle bar and having an induction orifice 6 for air or other fluid and an eduction orifice 7 controlled by a check-valve 8 and communieating with a nipple 9 designed for the connection of a hose 10 or the like, a rectilinearly movable piston 11 disposed in the cylinder 5, a bifurcated or fork-like frame 12 arranged on and fixed with respect to the cylinder .5,

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. January 27, 1908.

Patented April 13, 1909. Serial No. 412,904.

crank wheels 13 mounted on journals 14 connected to the sides of the frame 12 and having rims 15, formed of cork or other frictioncreating material compatible with the purpose of my invention, a pitman 16 interposed between and connected to the crank wheels 13 and the lpiston 11 and having for its office the usual one of converting the rotary motion of the wheels to reciprocatory motion appropriate to the operation of the piston, a wheel 17 mounted to rotate between the sides of the frame 12 and also between the outer portions of the crank wheels 13 and having a frictioncreating rim 18 of rubber' or other materialv suitable to the purpose, and annular devices 19 disposed at opposite sides of and xed with respect to the wheel 17 and frictionally engaged with the rims 15 of the crank wheels 13, the said devices 19 being, by preference, knurled metal wheels.

It will be readily understood from the foregoing and by reference to Figs. 1 and 3 that when the pump is positioned as shown in the latter figure, relative to the fly wheel or other rotary and power-driven element and the support 3, and downward pressure is exerted on the handle bar 4 of the pump, the rim 1S of the wheel 17 will be held in frictional contact with the wheel 1 and consequently the wheel 17, the annular devices 19 and the crank wheels 13 will be rotated, and the piston 11 will be reciprocated to draw air o other fluid into the cylinder 5 through the orifice or port and force the said air or other Huid under pressure from the cylinder through the valve-controlled orifice or port 7 lt will also be understood that incidental to the operation of the pump by the ily wheel or rotary element 1, the annular devices 19 by reason of their interposition between the power-receiving wheel 17 and the crank wheels 13 will reduce the speed of the rotary elements of the pump and in that way preclude reciprocation of the piston 11 at an unduly high rate of speed. "N hen it is desired to stop the operation of the pum the operator has but to relieve the handle war 4L of downward pressure whereupon the wheel end of the pump will gravitate away from the fly wheel 1.

It will be gathered from the foregoing that by virtue of the provision of my novel pump, the power expended in driving a fly wheel or other rotary portion of a motor may be utilized to store air or other fluid under pressure or to force such fluid to a point of use, and this with practically no effort on the part of the person using the pump; and it Will also be noted that the pump is simple and strong in construction, and hence Well adapted to Withstand the rough usage to which devices used for automobiles are ordinarily subjected.

The modified construction of pump illustrated in Fig. 2 is a simplification of that shown in Figs. 1 and 3 in that the crank Wheels 13@L connected with and arranged to reciprocate the piston l1 a are designed to be utilized for application to the fly Wheel l, and the Wheel 17 and its appui-tenant annular devices 19 of the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and B are omitted. 1n the said modified construction no provision is made for reducing the speed during the transmission of motion to the piston 11 a and from this it follows that the modification is designed for use in combination with a fly Wheel or other rotary part that is driven at a comparatively low rate of speed.

l have entered into a detailed description of the construction and relative arrangement of parts comprised in the present embodiments of my invention with a view of imparting a full, clear and exact understanding of the said embodiments, but I Would have it understood that in the future practice of the invention such changes in structure may be made as fairly fall Within the scope of my invention as defined in the claims appended.
